Resultant of an equivariant polynomial system with respect to direct product of symmetric groups

Abstract

In this note, we consider the resultant of systems of homogeneous multivariate polynomials which are equivariant under the action of direct product of two symmetric groups. We establish a decomposition formula for the resultant of such systems. Thanks to that decomposition formula we prove that the discriminant of an invariant multivariate homogeneous polynomial under a direct product of symmetric groups splits into smaller resultants that are easier to compute.
